Testimonials

​"Because Andrea is a narrator herself, and a fantastic one at that, she knows exactly what a voiceover talent needs to showcase on their website. I recommend her to all of my students who are looking to get started in the audiobook industry. Her thorough and thoughtful approach allows her to customize each site to the narrators needs, style, and goals. Give her a try!" ~Sean Pratt - Narrator, Author & Coach

"When I needed to have a website created for my publishing company, I reached out to Andrea. She quickly and clearly explained what was needed, and took the time to ask me questions about the company, my goals, and my ideas. She was honest with me when some ideas and elements I liked were not conducive to the layout or impression I was hoping to present. She was intuitive and thorough. In the end she made me some tutorials so I could easily make changes when I needed to. I highly recommend Andrea, if you're looking for a great website."

"Andrea came to the table with lots of great ideas, but was also more than willing to follow my lead--even when that lead changed directions multiple times!"

"I could not have been more grateful for Andrea’s support and creativity in building my website. She had such wonderful and practical artistic input, as well as the technical skills to make it all happen.  Thank you, thank you, thank you! Someday when I need a refresher, I’ll be back for more." ~Rebecca Stern, Narrator

"Having been a working narrator for quite some time, I knew my website was not serving me as it should. Andrea spent time with me helping me to realise that my website is not just a professional space to present samples of my work but to show potential clients exactly who I am and indeed what makes me who I am. It never properly occurred to me that all the little quirks and hobbies in my every day life away from my booth are skills that add to my castable tool belt and not just the techniques I learned as a young actor at drama school. She also spent time helping me to “tidy up” my samples, helping me to re-title things, cut things in order to present them more appropriately. Andrea knows her stuff and was so generous with her time resulting in a much more cohesive, personalized website that is now a way better representation of who I actually am and what I’m capable of. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to anyone else in the industry (and they wouldn’t regret it!!)"

"I recently hired Andrea to build a new website after my old one crashed. She was thorough in understanding what I wanted in terms of look, feel, content, etc. She assisted with writing copy, curating samples and sorting the many pictures I had amassed in readiness. She was easy to work with, responded to communications quickly and always checked in if she had any questions. She assisted with moving the website to a new hosting platform and making sure that the links and pointing ended up with the correct results. I would HIGHLY recommend her services. She is quick, efficient, collaborative and cost effective. Thanks Andrea. I love my new website!" ~Richard Crossman, Narrator

“Andrea meets narrators where they’re at, both creatively and technically, to create websites that showcase their unique traits and talents. During our PANAcademy class, she made a daunting task – analyzing one’s current website – a series of bite-sized tasks that not only can improve a narrator’s online presence, but also provide a much-needed check-in to ensure that they’re highlighting the strengths and interests in a meaningful fashion. She is enthusiastic, organized, and generous with her knowledge, and her commitment to staying current with industry trends makes her an asset to our audiobook community.” ~Veronica Giguere, EdS, Narrator

"Andrea’s coaching is outstanding. With her guidance, I was able to bring my personality into my brand and effectively showcase it on my website. Before speaking with her, I was struggling with a mediocre website I knew needed to change, but I didn’t know where to start. She was so kind, funny, and knowledgeable, and handed me all the tools and confidence to make meaningful changes. I am absolutely in love with my new site!" ~Rachel Franco

"One of the things I find most time consuming and a little daunting is finding new sample scripts, or scripts for live reads that suit my voice, and that may challenge me in some way. I love being handed a script for auditions; I can jump on those with enthusiasm - and enjoy the challenge. But I get stalled when I need to find my own. I am so grateful for Andrea Emmes. She found me a wonderful collection of scripts of different genres that had all the things I needed, and were ideal for me to use for upcoming live reads and some new samples I wanted to make.  She also coached me through some of the questions I had about upcoming masterclasses I was about to take.  I can highly recommend her services!!  Thank you Andrea!!!"   ~Maria Nicola Johnson - Narrator
